Temperatures plummeting to below zero, together with icy wind and rain - yes I do believe that winter has arrived!

I am frantically searching for those winter gloves I was given last Christmas and that bobble hat I said I’d never wear! Now where on earth did I put it?

With so much clothing on we look like a Michelin Man convention!

Results from a cold, windy Farrington Park in this 4 Ball Betterball Competition. Five teams all had 43 points so placings were decided on countback. The outcome could have been so different as one team did not score (blobbed) the 13th hole and another team blobbed the 17th. Very costly!

First Richard Collier/ Andy Baird 45 - 20 front nine, 25 on the back

Second: Steve Park/Steve Coles 43 (21/22)

Third: Andy Smith/Colin Glibbery 43 (22/21)

Fourth: Jim Lunt/Pete Nash 43 (22/21)

Fifth: Roy Matthews/Alan Elkington 43 (22/21)

Sixth: David Brown/Geoff Cabral 43 (25/18)

Breaking news - I’ve found that blasted bobble hat!
